Actually if you'll read the fine print, you're obligated to be friends.
By "create new markets" they've always meant "Become useless middlemen by displacing the existing bridge between makers and consumers" Usually their new bridge is modestly more convenient in some way, but opens the door…
I can't agree. Because my netflix subscription is cancelled specifically because the "Finding something I want to watch drains my energy" phenomenon. Gradually over the course of like a year I got more and more…
So... immigration services in the US don't use criminal language when discussing how they handle people accused of immigration offenses, because there's a whole legal structure to pretending it's a civil infraction and…
No, I think that's unfair. I, as a user, could very reasonably want a parody or knock-off of Indiana Jones. I could want the spelunky protagonist. It's hard to argue that certain prompts the author put into this could…
And preschool teachers talk this way because they're desperately afraid of hurting parents' feelings
This is what I want to do as an engineer, but I know damn well it's a waste of time and money.
It's a heuristic for understanding why you don't need to take some people seriously with your limited time available to approach new concepts. Credentialism should never be a fundamental basis for refuting new theories,…
I mostly agree, but struggle with saying this with perfect certainty. Understanding in the "have mental model of the world, apply it, derive thoughts from that model, derive words from thoughts" pattern is a thing they…
The press release writer was a bit shit at understanding basic scientific jargon. The research only finds epigenetic markers. There are no genetic changes. There are detectable changes to gene expression, and that's it.
I use python repl as my primary calculator on my computer. 1. I don't have problems like the IOS problem documented here. This requires me to know the difference between an int and a float, but pythons ints have…
I was going to say, this is what SPARQL was designed for and it's much better at than SQL.
Part of me wonders whether it is sincerely possible to violate someone's constitutional rights "in good faith". I feel like being a functional police officer should entail knowing the limits on your power, in the same…
No, this is a very recent development in science policy.
I'm sorry, correcting a story with recent factual information doesn't strike me as undermining the fundamental credibility of a source. Given that they correctly source and attribute the claim that it wasn't tested to a…
And it's an interesting time to think about this problem. Because we're about to see how all the structures that were put in place to enforce those ethics react to being told they must instead do keyword searches for…
It costs over $100,000. That is a decision you do not make for no reason.
And my guess is there's a touch of ideology to this person that questioning Tesla and FSD's fundamental safety would hurt. "I screwed up" does a lot less to cause cognitive dissonance than "Something I believe is wrong"…
A lot of companies don't actually sell a product that does anything useful, though. They sell an idea that sounds useful to management, and obscuring the truth earns more money.
But, of course, it would be better if we could generalize and let users describe in conversational language the specific things they don't want to see.
Nah, I entered the industry in 2008, and I know enough FORTRAN to know I never want to use it.
Yeah, there were some other older professors at NC State who had clearly aged out of knowing the state of the art, but Bitzer was an enthusastic teacher who cared about engaging students, and still knew his stuff.
The theming on this thing sucks. "Quantum climate calculator"? "IR Magic Wand"? "Galactic Soldering Arena"? None of that is remotely on-brand. The butter passing robot was a perfect early encapsulation of Rick and…
Ultimately the main reason it's bad right now is it's expensive. Far beyond the amount needed to recoup research investment and far far far far far far far far far beyond what it takes to synthesize. Low-end cost of…
Google is too "helpful" in assuming what I want instead of what I say for me to find it anymore, but there was a Linus Torvalds quote about how it didn't even occur to him to write linux in anything but english, even…
